Our intrepid transmogrifiers encounter forces that lift and separate prose and poetry, she and he, molehill and mountain. Climbing, they get their words together--but the words veer off the trail. Order deters; cairns push; switchbacks pull. And if that's not enough impediment, they go to a conference, he gets fired, and she interviews at MLA. So our transceivers are not...civil. <i>The Adventurous</i> stakes a claim to romantic levitation--but it is not a love story. It is summit without descent, at play in the fields of talus, straddling the crevasse. It is a tongue lashing high-altitude scree. 1263861 1 1 2006 The Adventurous total:5|5:3|4:1|3:1| 5 22 9 1 3 0 false false Sat Mar 01 17:30:32 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 18:44:02 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 11 14:02:44 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 11 14:02:44 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jul 13 16:39:26 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 16:19:28 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 16:39:26 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 25 09:07:02 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 09:07:02 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Sep 16 12:54:27 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 16 12:54:27 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Sep 15 18:21:32 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 15 18:21:32 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sun Sep 07 18:19:57 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 18:19:57 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Jan 10 08:00:55 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 10 08:00:55 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Fri Nov 23 13:20:24 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 23 13:20:24 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1274894
